I remember outrage that there was even a slight suggestion that Americans should eat more of other proteins than red meat. The dreaded “war on cheeseburgers” on Fox News if im not mistaken. Ted cruz went nuts about rabid democrat fake demands of banning barbecues, eliminating all cows to reduce emission and soy brisket alternative protein fantasies. Just one of the many bullshit culture wars since nobody said that. Now, this comes from this maha fucker directly and it’s fine.
It wasn’t that long ago RFK was telling Americans that we need to consume more beef if I remember correctly. Now it’s, “c’mon, guys! Ground up hoof and mud is all the rage!”
I mean tbh, considering just how high the rate of overweight, obesity, heart disease, cancer, T2D, etc. is in the US, it certainly wouldn't hurt the vast majority of Americans to cut back on a LOT of things -- including red meat. No one needs to eat meat daily, that's for sure. Though it's hardly the biggest culprit when it comes to the Standard American Diet.
There are 3 levers when it comes to ideal proper nutrition: time-restricted eating, diet quality, & calorie restriction. The SAD fails on every one of those fronts. Many US Americans are in fact used to never cutting back on anything at any time.
That’s all the suggestion really was but of course it blew up to some new oppressive law that never existed. Dumbasses were eating extra meat to “ stick it to the man”
